Manager Martin Shepherdson said: "We are proud to have won our first game in the new format. We put in a tremendous effort and got what we deserved."
The result was achieved minus Scotland's top striker this season, Fraser Heigh, who broke a thumb against Hampstead & Westminster.
Goalkeeper David Forrester said: "It was a fantastic performance by everyone, especially given Fraser's injury. While we were gutted to lose against Hampstead, we knew we had played well and we have been getting better and better through the tournament.

A double from 31-year-old insurance broker Albert Rowling, one from a penalty stroke in 15 minutes and the second a penalty corner after 38 minutes, got Grange off to a flyer.
The third goal came on 49 minutes from 18-year-old schoolboy Peter Caughey, hooking the ball home from close range, secured the welcome win.
